HAQ shines at IFFI Goa 2025 with packed Emraan Hashmi-Yami Gautam screening
HAQ screens at IFFI Goa 2025, tackling triple talaq with Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam in a powerful, thought-provoking drama.
The 56th International Film Festival of India in Goa lit up with a focused spotlight on Junglee Pictures' HAQ as it had a special screening to a packed house. Directed by Suparn S Varma and written by Reshu Nath, the film places Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam Dhar in their most layered roles yet, diving into bold conversations about religion, law and rights. The project is inspired by a landmark Supreme Court judgment and aims to spark dialogue about justice and maintenance within a family.
Audiences watched a fierce, no-holds-barred drama about a mother's fight against a system that shapes a woman's fate, a fight the filmmakers say seeks balance on screen as well as in real life. The trailer launch hinted at a balanced view, and early screening reactions suggest the ideological ambition has struck a chord with attendees at IFFI Goa 2025.
In addition to Hashmi and Gautam, HAQ features debutant Vartika Singh and sturdy supporting players like Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain and Aseem Hattangady. Produced by Junglee Pictures in association with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studios, HAQ remains a timely reminder that courage, knowledge and resilience can move mountains.
The audience response underscored the film's relevance and storytelling ambition, and it continues a festival season that values provocative cinema that challenges conventions while staying grounded in human emotion.
